gconfdefaultsm_selinux(8) SELinux Policy gconfdefaultsm gconfdefaultsm_selinux(8)
NAME
gconfdefaultsm_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the gconfdefaultsm processes
DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the gconfdefaultsm processes via flexible mandatory access control.
The gconfdefaultsm processes execute with the gconfdefaultsm_t SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing
the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
For example:
ps -eZ | grep gconfdefaultsm_t
ENTRYPOINTS
The gconfdefaultsm_t SELinux type can be entered via the gconfdefaultsm_exec_t file type.
The default entrypoint paths for the gconfdefaultsm_t domain are the following:
/usr/libexec/gconf-defaults-mechanism
PROCESS TYPES
SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the system
You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux gconfdefaultsm policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
gconfdefaultsm processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for gconfdefaultsm:
gconfdefaultsm_t
Note: semanage permissive -a gconfdefaultsm_t can be used to make the process type gconfdefaultsm_t permissive. SELinux does not deny
access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated.
BOOLEANS
SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. gconfdefaultsm policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
allow you to manipulate the policy and run gconfdefaultsm with the tightest access possible.
If you want to allow all daemons to write corefiles to /, you must turn on the daemons_dump_core boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P daemons_dump_core 1
If you want to enable cluster mode for daemons, you must turn on the daemons_enable_cluster_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
setsebool -P daemons_enable_cluster_mode 1
If you want to allow all daemons to use tcp wrappers, you must turn on the daemons_use_tcp_wrapper boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P daemons_use_tcp_wrapper 1
If you want to allow all daemons the ability to read/write terminals, you must turn on the daemons_use_tty boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P daemons_use_tty 1
If you want to deny any process from ptracing or debugging any other processes, you must turn on the deny_ptrace boolean. Enabled by
default.
setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1
If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors, you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1
If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
default.
setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
setsebool -P fips_mode 1
If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P global_ssp 1
If you want to support ecryptfs home directories, you must turn on the use_ecryptfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P use_ecryptfs_home_dirs 1
If you want to support fusefs home directories, you must turn on the use_fusefs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P use_fusefs_home_dirs 1
If you want to support NFS home directories, you must turn on the use_nfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1
If you want to support SAMBA home directories, you must turn on the use_samba_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P use_samba_home_dirs 1
MANAGED FILES
The SELinux process type gconfdefaultsm_t can manage files labeled with the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths
for these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS
SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type.
You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files. SELinux gconfdefaultsm policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
their gconfdefaultsm processes in as secure a method as possible.
STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
SELinux defines the file context types for the gconfdefaultsm, if you wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need
to execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
semanage fcontext -a -t gconfdefaultsm_exec_t '/srv/gconfdefaultsm/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mygconfdefaultsm_content
Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files.
The following file types are defined for gconfdefaultsm:
gconfdefaultsm_exec_t
- Set files with the gconfdefaultsm_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the gconfdefaultsm_t domain.
Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command. If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use
the semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling database. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
COMMANDS
semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context mappings.
semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a process type is permissive.
semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove policy modules.
semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy settings.
